Outside opinion welcome

I bought an AK a few years ago thinking it would be all I would ever need for a militarized rifle. I put all the Tapco plastic on it and made it aggressive looking. This was while Bush was still in office and the concept that Brady would be considered on the rebound wasn't a consideration. Then the phase where holding onto a Semi-Auto rifle seemed like a smart move as it was inevitable that there would be another ban coming. It doesn't look like that movement is getting much traction and prices are back to the pre-Obama era in most cases.

Recently I built an AR15 with RRA lower and BCM upper and I enjoy it. I got a .22conversion kit for it and it gets a lot of love. Now I am looking at this bulky AK in the safe and I think it would be nice to get a new pistol. Looking at PPS or P99 even an MP or a resolver (intentional typo).

I hate regretting selling a gun and I have owned my share...some I regret selling and some I don't even think about again. I missed one of my XD's I sold and ended up buying another as soon as possible. Then there was a SW380 and couldn't get rid of fast enough.

I don't see going to this rifle anymore...I have the AR15, Mossy500, 30-30...should I dump it and get something else I would carry more?

I know its personal preferance let me read from some of you opinionated folk?

I've sold a gun that I wish I kept and sold others I was glad to get rid of. If you don't like it anymore, sell or trade it, unless you like having safe queens (some people do). Take it out, shoot it, and you'll know if you want to sell it or not.

I have a few firearms I will never use myself, and a small stash of ammo for each. Some people have gold coins in case the SHTF. Should that happen, each of these unloved and unused firearms with ammo would be worth more than its weight in silly gold coins!

An AK is one of the most recognized of the evil "machine guns" and therefore will always be at the top of any anti's list of things to ban, and I beleive they are just waiting for the right opportunity to try again, don't part with it.

You've customized your AK the way you like it, don't part with it.

I love an AR as much as anyone but an AK has last resort SHTF gun in it's genes, don't part with it

Easier and cheaper to keep a gun than to try to replace one, don't part with it.

Be patient and save up for the pistol that you want rather than trade the AK, don't part with it.

If they ever do pass a ban again,they will be worth a lot more,every gun I ever sold increased in value,I had and sold 3 pythons for less than what I paid new,now you can't find a used one under double what they cost new
